L&N Industrial Rail Spur
Tyson Rayles Wrote:One question however. Why are you modeling down there and the thread is tittled the L&N Industrial Rail Spur ?
Mike;
I'm not modeling that area, just using it for ideas for a freelance layout. I look for interesting prototype track arrangements and industries for the basis for a freelance layout and from areas all over the country. Most of the layouts I've ever started over the years were always based on a prototype, and almost always a short line; but this time I'm going freelance with an L&N theme, as it was one of my railroad employers. Heck, it may end up being a purely freelance railroad company too. I rather like the name Kentucky Terminal Company (KTML) so there's a potential freelance railroad.

Even though the L&N operated in to Pensacola, FL, I have no interest in that part of the country and looking at the area, never found anything that appealed to me about it. Far more interesting things in other areas on former L&N lines, such as Georgia and some places right here in Kentucky. In that regard, I decided some time ago that the only way I was going to be able to include things on the layout that I really like would be go freelance.

I still can't believe that I made a goof up like I did about what rail line that is in Miami, so I'll be a lot more cautious in the future. Hate to see incorrect information or information based on assumptions put out as fact so it does bother me that I'd make a goof like that!

As for this thread, I should probably just end it and not post anything else until such time as I actually get something going. I'm spending far too much time planning and on Google/Bing maps, when I should be building.
